Bernie tells Oz: Stop complaining

Bernie Ecclestone has hit out at the Victorian government, saying they shouldn’t sign a deal and then complain about it

Earlier this week, media reports in Australia claimed that the state paid $30 million a year to stage the Australian Grand Prix.

“We think the taxpayer subsidy is too high and there are two issues here, one is the fee given to Mr Ecclestone and the other one is the total taxpayer subsidy for the event and the fee is of course part of that,” said Tourism Minister Louise Asher.
